Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Pork shoulder (boneless)
- 2 tbsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp Molasses
- 1 tsp Liquid smoke
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the pork shoulder thoroughly with the olive oil, then apply the spice mix generously all over the meat, ensuring it's fully covered.
Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a large roasting pan or Dutch oven, fat side up.
In a medium bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, liquid smoke, and water to create the barbecue sauce.
Pour half of the barbecue sauce over the pork, reserving the rest for serving later.
Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil or a lid to keep the moisture in and place it in the preheated oven.
Cook the pork for about 5 to 6 hours, or until the meat is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Using two forks, shred the pork into pieces and mix it with the juices at the bottom of the pan.
Serve the pulled pork hot with the reserved barbecue sauce on the side. Enjoy in sandwiches or with your preferred sides.
